What added to the structural damage is the 1/3 offset and the 1/2 tonne extra mass of the Camry. Without going through the calculus, I estimate a 50mph barrier collision. The Yaris damage in this trial isnt that much worse than vehicle structures 10 years ago; survivable but with injuries. Still ugly.
You are totally incorrect, from start to finish.
